Risky to make jokes with plausible things and especially without a hint.

Stackoverflow did it better in my opinion (lots of hints): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7507830

Completely disagree.

The best April Fools jokes are ones that are actually plausible. Bonus points for being controversial as well.

True, this is the most amazing one I can remember.

[emmelaich → smtddr]

Totally.

Without some degree of plausiblity it's not an April Fools joke.

I'd say of you have to give hints for a joke then the joke's not good.
